Chapter 986: Escape
Chapter 986: Escape
Abel was in big trouble. He couldn't escape that legendary knight no matter how smooth Doff and Frankenstein were flashing.
With such a giant dragon body, his teleportation range was not ideal.
It was not that he still wanted to keep his wizard identity a secret in this circumstance, but he couldn't do wizard spells in his dragon form.
If he continued, the legendary knight might catch up to him soon.
It was a problem all around. He could go faster as a human, but he would be suppressed by the legendary knight's energy at this range if he did. Then, he might not even move.
He began to wonder how he could attack, but he was too weak. His brain couldn't come up with anything.
Knight Ando was also growing desperate. If Abel hadn't spotted him and started running away, he wouldn't find himself in a situation like this.
He did not expect that Abe's giant Dragon form could be within his suppression. As you know, all big druids would be helpless against a legendary knight.
All he wanted was to catch up with Abel and bring back the holy object before the legendary wizards found out.
There was still some distance between them, and he only had one opportunity to attack. After that, the legendary wizards in the wizard union would be able to notice him.
He needed to achieve his goal with one strike, and with this range, he would only be able to injure Abel at most.
Therefore, the only thing he could do was to keep increasing his speed.
Abel saw Knight Ando catching up, and the suppression energy began to intensify even in his dragon form.
He knew he couldn't continue like this. He didn't have much time left.
At that moment, it was clear to him why this knight was after him. Maybe it was because of the crystal angel statue.
In many ways, he was actually expecting this day when he realized the crystal angel statue could steal preaching power from the gods.
However, he was didn't expect the god to find out with the world stone as cover.
Today was a big surprise. His 1000 years old dragon form had automatically ignited the crystal angel statue, and at the same time, a mad knight had died in front of him.
On top of that, the front-line battlefield was too close to the Evil Kingdom. The legendary knights would be able to sense it even if the slightest energy was leaked out.
"Another minute!" Abel scanned his distance with the legendary knight and calculated a number.
Suddenly, he noticed an average size lake in the valley upfront.
His eyes began to sparkle. He was a blue dragon. He had the super ability to control water.
Therefore, he commanded Frankenstein and Doff to head towards the lake through the soul chain.
In one flash, Abel, Frankenstein, and Doff appeared on the lake. Immediately, Abel put Doff and Frankenstein back in the monster ring.
He no longer needed them, and they could not take a hit from a legendary knight anyway.
Abel dived into the water and felt a strange feeling. It was almost like he was in one with the water.
He was a 10 meters long dragon. Water should have a lot of drag on his body, but no. Instead, he felt like he was flying.
The reason Dragons could fly so fast because they had the ability to manipulate air, limiting the drag.
For Abel, water was just the same as he speeded down.
It was not a big lake, but lakes in valleys were extremely deep. It could often go up to hundreds of meters.
At that moment, he also sensed that knight Ando had landed on the water like it was the ground.
His power of the will was locked on Abel. He knew he was hundreds of meters below.
"Want to escape?" He lowered his voice and heavily stumped on the water.
An aura emerged. It was the Holy freeze, and immediately, the water began to freeze up.
The scary thing about legendary knights was that they could drastically spread out the range of aura attacks. But of course, if they were facing a profession of the same rank, its power would be drastically reduced.
But even if he spread out his attack range, it was still not something an impersonated dragon like Abel could withstand.
The Holy Freeze aura continued to reach. Knight Ando knew he could not go as fast as a dragon with the ability to control water underwater, so he could only freeze the entire lake and force the dragon out.
Although he knew the dragon had ice attributes, he believed his legendary ice attribute was far superior to this dragon.
When Abel sensed the frozen energy approaching, he quickly tried to control it with his dragon body, but he couldn't. Almost like the frozen energy was supported by something unknown.
It was the Holy energy, the force that ignited aura attacks. It was what gave Knight Ando his confidence. It was what made Abel hopeless when it came to controlling it.
All Abel could do was to keet diving deeper. When he reached 200 meters, he was at the bottom.
Even though the lake was not big, it was still a few miles in diameter, and Knight Ando was trying to freeze the entire thing. In 5 more meters, Abel would be frozen as well.
Abel knew once he was frozen, he would be dead on this knight.
He turned towards the bottom. Although he couldn't control the frozen force above him, he could monitor the condition below him.
This lack was located between the mountain peaks. Its water was so clear he saw some fishes swimming earlier, which meant the water was flowing in and out.
As long as the water was flowing, there must be a way out down the bottom.
Just as expected, he saw a little crack with water flowing out between the rocks.
"Sharp claw!" He plunged his golden dragon claw into it.
Since his claw could easily break through the armor of a mad knight, those rocks stood no chance.
He continued to speed down. Maybe it was a suicidal move. Once the water ran out, he would be out of oxygen. Then, he wouldn't last for long, even as a giant dragon.
"Bastard!" Knight Ando was not expecting Abel to make a suicidal move like this. He knew Abel had the holy object, so he madly stumped on the ice. The lake breaker into two, and a crack was opened up towards where Abel was heading.
He immediately speeded down. He didn't want the dragon to die just yet. If the Holy object was not on this dragon's body, he would force him to say where it was.
Abel's heart was racing. He found his hidden stream and thought he could escape, but Knight Ando began his attack again before he made his way out.
He kept digging with his claw as he turned and unleashed a dragon spill towards knight Ando. However, this time he added something special, a dimensional force.
When Knight Ando reached the bottom of the lake, he sensed a dragon spill gushing out from below.
He casually waved his shield. The spill was immediately blasted away, but not the dimensional force.
The dimensional force in Abel's soul was his final backup. Ever since he stopped using his head commander ability, he also stopped using this scarily sharp cutting force.
At first, this dimensional force could only be used along with combat qi. Still, Abel realized it could also be used alongside a dragon's energy, so he hid the only dimensional force from his soul into his dragon spill. With this cover, knight Ando was fooled.
The dimensional force was already right in front of him when he noticed it, so he immediately ignited a charge and vanished.
Still, half of a finger and a few drops of golden blood were left behind, and it fell towards the hole Abel was digging.
Abel was suddenly attracted by that half a finger and drops of golden blood. It was almost like they were treasures.
He scanned with his power of the will, and that half a finger was put to his personal storage box along with the drops of blood. It was a casual move to him anyway.
A scar was quickly formed on knight Ando's hand. With half a finger chopped off, it was not easy to heal for a profession of his rank. He either needed the blessing from god or holy objects.
To get a blessing from God, he would need to use holy energy. Since holy energy was scarce, he would need to be very careful each time he used it.
As for holy objects, they were for the gods. He would never be able to get his turn.
Capturing Abel was his only chance of getting blessings from the gods, but suddenly, Abel began to accelerate underground.
Since he needed to hide his identity on the front-line battlefield, he wouldn't dare to keep using his power of will. Just tracking down his target was enough.
He knew something was wrong, so he could no longer care about his injuries. In a flash, he arrived at the hole Abel had just dug up.
The hole was filled with water, and he expanded his power of the will. There was a huge open space underground, with 4 to 8 water passages.
If he wanted to catch Abel, he would need to go underground. But that would make him lose all advantage and race against a blue dragon in water.
He also could not afford to make the wrong turn. A dragon could breathe underwater, but he couldn't. He could only hold his breath for an hour at most before all his energy was drained.
